1917 ELGIN HIGH SCHOOL 1917 Class Poem On looking back it scarcely seems, That four short years have glided by, Since we, as lonely Freshmen, small, First entered here at Elgin High. But true it is, at last has come, Long dreamed of graduation day, The time which to us all has seemed, However near, so far away. For memory's sake, we must admit, lVe'd like to longer linger here, And yet we'd not turn back the page, To start again our Freshman year. XVe know that oft, in future years VVe'll think of Elgin High with praise, And looking back, live o'er again The happy times of High School days. But still, Ambition calls us on, To press through graduation's gate, Into the world, to wider fields, lVhere we may work, or play, or wait. The lessons learned, and i d e a l s gained, These four short years in E. H. S., VV ill make us better fit, we think, To meet defeat, and win success. O, Alma Mater, thanks we give, For dreams and visions thou hast shown, For loyal friends and teachers dear, A school we're proud to call our own! Dear school, we all must say fare- well, Our High School life we leave be- hind, Oh, may We not forget these years, But each impression keep in mind. To those who in our foot-steps tread, XVe'll say, we wish you all suc- cess, In work, in play, we hope you may, Be ever true to E. H. S. Margery M. Tibbals '17.
